TUGZip

TUGZip is a powerful compression tool that has become the most competitive alternative to famous programs like WinZip and WinRar.

TUGZip combines ease-of-use with an enormous array of abilities. One of the program's secret weapons is the ability to change the look of the program itself through skins, or modify its organization structure so that it perfectly fits your needs.

And of course the program supports a large amount of formats, with the ability to open ZIP, ACE, ARJ, BZ2, CAB, GZ, LHA (LZH), RAR, TAR, TGZ, and create the following files: ZIP, TAR, CAB, LHA (LzH), TGZ, and BZ2, to name a few.

From within the program you can view and run any element included in the compressed file, create encrypted, password-protected files, run antivirus scans, repair damaged files, and more.

TUGZip also inserts itself into the Windows shortcut menu for quick access.

Without a doubt, this is a highly recommended zipping and unzipping tool - and best of all, it's completely free.
